Chapter 458 – 36. The Three-Earth Alliance – Tricks and Traps (5)

A cave somewhere in the jungle.

In the depths there was an unknown swamp.

An ominous and filthy place that seems to swallow even the sound.

The swamp, where only silence had always lingered, suddenly began to boil.

Even so, the swamp evokes only unpleasant sounds and a soggy atmosphere.

Soon something erupted inside him.

“Kuheugh, keuk. Cool…!”

A middle-aged man with gray hair.

His hair was long enough to go over his shoulders.

The mud of the swamp that was sticky all over the body told me that it was something different from the mud when I looked closely. The body of a man who came out of such an unidentified swamp after 10 years was coughing.

“Hee, hee…. Kkeuk…. Shoo!”

He struggled to drag his heavy body outside, spit out the lump of earth that choked him, and lay down on the land as if collapsing.

“Huhhhhh…”

Breathe heavily

My back and head hurt.

His body his was more than normal and close to muscular, but the pain did not go away easily.

Hallucinatory pain.

It was because the sudden death of the fake body was affecting the main body as well.

“Ha, damn it…”

The man, the lord of the 3rd Alliance, cursed at the rising anger.

I still can’t believe it.

He thought he was clearly aware of and in control of everything, but at some point, things took a strange turn and he went completely awry. In the end, he was even used to death under the strange suspicion of being the demon’s sorcerer.

‘I should have denied it to the end.’

If so, he would have been able to use it even after he, no, his fake body his died.

However, it was a mistake that he fought believing he could win.

“I never thought a dwarf would be so strong.”

More than anything else, this was a painful misjudgment.

Perhaps it would be better to fight with the main body.

Even so, the difference in combat experience and skills may be a little pushed.

Even so, he was not pushed back by the fake body created by witchcraft.

It was a body made from the lives of close to hundreds of people. Injuries to his shoulder, abdomen, thigh, etc. Even with witchcraft. You might think it’s a wound that doesn’t heal well right now, but if you use magic, it will turn into a fatal wound.

‘No, that’s not what’s important.’

His eyes shone fiercely as he struggled to rise.

“… Regret is too late now.”

The three-pronged alliance, which has been built up for decades, cannot be abandoned at this rate.

The city and tribe were taken away with more than half the effort, but there was still a lot left for him.

I’ll have to bring out most of the things I’ve hidden, but that should be enough to get the 3-pronged alliance back.

‘The problem lies after that.’

It is impossible to confirm, but the story that he has already become a traitor attached to the demon king will spread widely.

Even if you take control of the Three-Earth Alliance again, the problem is the Holy Kingdom of Simon and the Goddess Church that are attached to your side. The Dezac Empire will try to play tricks while watching the situation until the end, but it is obvious that the Holy Kingdom and the Vatican will run amok.

‘The important thing here is this.’

Arsha, who is presumed to be the creator of this plan that completely fucked herself up.

How far did she really put her hand her?

Conclusions were quickly reached.

“She was at the hero’s party. I can’t hold hands with all the demons. At most, one demon… Two…?”

The man hesitated.

The assumption that flashed in my head at the moment was plausible enough to make me feel bad.

“Empire… It’s an Empire! You damned Emperor!”

The chimera monster is Robert’s magic.

A doppelganger demon who is the 4th elder of the Mage Addiction Tower.

If you think so, everything fits.

“How dare you…! How dare you do something like this behind your back?!”

“Ohhh. Behind the scenes. I wonder what kind of conversation was going on in the front.”

“…… ?!”

A familiar voice gave rise to goose bumps.

I hurriedly got up and looked back and saw a man and a woman who seemed to have come from the entrance.

“You, you…!”

It’s a face we both know.

Valdes of the warrior party, and Arsha the traitor.

But there is something more important than that.

“How did you get here… ?!”

A treasure trove of various spells made for eternal life.

All the personnel who participated in the creation of this place were either sacrificed to complete the swamp or secretly disposed of. On top of that, the many magics installed around them strengthened their stealth, and the innate geography of a dense jungle was added.

It’s been 20 years since I haven’t come in person.

It was absolutely impossible to find out by chance or tailing.

“Back. Doesn’t it still hurt?”

“……Under.”

At Valdez’s answer, he turned on a blank laugh.

Come to think of it, it’s strange that I still have stomachaches.

His head his, which became the final blow of death, is now intact, but only his back his continues to throb.

“You bastard. What is your true identity?”

“Hmm.”

Valdes was troubled.

He’s going to die here anyway, so why should I tell him?

‘No.’

Even the fall of the Third Alliance was enough for Valdes.

“Keep wondering even in hell.”

At the same time, Arsha raised her bow.

“Tsk!”

The man, now the former leader, moved quickly.

I don’t know Valdes, but I know Arsha’s level well.

From the beginning, it was raised with the idea of ​​making a hunter who is good at chores, not a warrior who aims for a high level. Thanks to this, he is versatile, but at the same time he has limitations. In particular, bows are somewhat inferior compared to daggers and others.

‘I’m curious, but it doesn’t matter. Both die quickly… ‘

Fu-wook!

‘… Yeo-beori song?’

“Kwaaaaagh—!!”

The middle-aged man screamed in pain and rolled on the ground.

It was also the fact that the arrow was stuck in his chest in an instant, but it was strangely insanely painful.

“Kkeuh. What is this… Kwaaaaagh…!”

“It’s a poison specially prepared for you.”

Arsha approaches the leader with her venom-filled eyes.

Valdez, who was left behind, watched and scratched his cheek.

‘Not very interesting.’

As expected, his revenge against him against the lord of the Third Branch Alliance has cooled down a lot.

I guess it’s because there are more fun things to do after this.

Feed Luciano properly through Fiora and the Divine Hammer, and go straight to the Kingdom of Ulstro after doing some tricks. It is a place where there are two women who are about to give birth and three women who want to get pregnant right away.

Babies are babies too, but meeting them after a long time made his heart pound.

“Kkeaaaaa… Strength of my…

“Is there any reason why witchcraft has been pushed aside by magic?”

“Damn it! My sorcery, my great sorcery, is nothing like that magic!!”

Even if you hear loud screams and ooze blood.

“It reminds me of something good, but it makes me feel good.”

It was a bit annoying though.

Frowning his brows, Valdes added the words to have a good time with Arsha, then turned his back and headed towards the entrance. He does n’t intend to go out at all, but he does n’t even want to see his interest her fade.

Looking at the things she handed over to Arsha, her vengeance her, and the state of the main body of the 3-pronged alliance, would n’t it be fun to get revenge for at least an hour? If it was only for a moment, it was a specification.

Valdez, who came out roughly halfway through the cave, sat down in a suitable place to rest.

“Where did you put it… Oh, here it is.”

He takes a ring out of his pocket.

It was a magic tool enchanted with communication magic that was found in the room of the Third Alliance.

It was said that it was the connection with this ring that Arsha communicated using her earring that she was wearing.

It wasn’t just her earrings of her, but there were many other magic tools that were connected quite a bit, and the performance was better than expected, so Valdes himself decided to use them. Coincidentally, several tools were found on the other side of the room, and I gave them to Yuri, Fiora, and Sasha.

And to Tessaree.

“Are you connected? Tessaree?”

-Ah, Mr. ♡

“Oh. That sounds pretty good.”

– I can hear you too!

“Yeah. Are you alone?”

– No, the dwarf adoptive father is next to me.

“Yes?”

-The old man’s wounds are pretty bad, so he’s sleeping now. It’s almost healed with holy magic, but strangely, it’s not completely healed. Something different from magic…. I don’t know what it is, but something is preventing the wound from healing.

“Hmm.”

It was quite interesting.

If it was Magi, the priests would have noticed it long ago.

What immediately comes to mind is the magic that the former leader, the old man, and Arsha talked about. It is a tribal magic of the Three-Earth Alliance that has already declined over 100 years ago and is now being handed down intermittently to only a few tribes. He, too, had only seen a few mentions in the study of the Demon King’s Castle.

‘It’s strange that he’s still there, but that must mean he’s older.’

Perhaps he is the last remaining shaman who has reached the stage.

Of course not.

If shamanism had been as competitive as magic, it wouldn’t have been abandoned like this.

“If the basics are sacrifice and offering magic, it’s inferior to black magic.”

-Yes?

“It’s nothing. More than that, what about activities?”

– He said he was fine and seemed to want to show off his ball quickly, but he forced him to lie down saying he needed to rest.

“Good job.”

-Hehe♡

Even if they are not related by blood, are they sisters and family?

Tessari’s laughter reminded me of Fiora, and it was interesting.

“I’ll be back tonight or tomorrow at the latest, but don’t let him go outside until then. That way… Even if he dies, he won’t be suspected.”

-Sure.

Although Valdez mentioned the death of his adoptive father his, Luciano, whom he respected and cherished so much, Tessaly answered without hesitation.

Valdez spent a fair amount of time and effort on her capture and corruption of her. But more than that, she quickly degraded. There may be many reasons, but it is said that Tessari had an antipathy for Luciano inside him.

Even though she has fallen, she is still the opposite of what she believes to be a goddess.

“Okay. Then work hard and see you later.”

-Yes! … Master ♥

Laughing at Tesari’s sweet voice her, Valdez disconnected her.

She gave it a chance and said see you later, but when he saw it, it seemed like he could go back tomorrow.

Tboob. Tboob.

After a while, the sound of boots echoing in the cave.

The owner of the footsteps was Arsha without even looking back.

Valdez, who was lying on the floor with a blanket on his back, asked.

“Are you satisfied?”

“…Yes.”

“What do you think?”

“I’m relieved. The long-honed revenge… It’s much more thrilling than I thought.”

“I guess so. That’s the real revenge.”

“Ha ha… ♡”

The brown-skinned female warrior with a cheerful smile was a little excited.

The moment that put an end to the long revenge made me feel a strange pleasure even though I was not a pervert.

“Valdes-nim.”

“Why.”

Arsha approached Valdes, who was not even getting up from the blanket.

And she fell on her knees.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to you… I was able to avenge my father, my tribemates, and countless others.”

“What’s new?”

It’s really new.

It made sense, and it was such a contract.

And now it was her turn her to fulfill her contract her.

“I dedicate my everything to the great Demon King.”

“Yeah, that’s what’s important.”

Valdes, who had been lying down all this time, finally raised his upper body.

“Now then, where should we go and eat the females we have been loyal to?”
